Simple and Sweet Beer Bread

This Sweet Beer Bread recipe is AWESOME!!! It's SUPER EASY to make & bake and takes very little time to get it on the table. This a dense bread that is wonderful with brothy soups or toasted with jam on top... *remembering that wonderful breakfast.*

Oh and if you have two loaf pans, go ahead and double this recipe. This bread won't last more than two days. It's very hard not to slice off a piece every time you walk past it, VERY HARD. On the other hand, if you have a small family, then consider sharing the loaf with a neighbor. Fresh baked bread is a wonderful gift to receive no matter what time of year.

I keep a mix of 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour in one container and use for everything.

Aunt Deb uses straight up white flour and hers is just as wonderful.

As for the beer, Cumby’s only 10 minutes down the highway and the exit takes you right to the door of the package store. ;D

I made this tonight to go along with Chicken, Vegetable & Orzo soup. It was super easy and super yummy! I used a Dundee Honey Brown lager. Not sure if that added anything extra to the flavor or not since this is the first time I made it but it just looked like a good one to use for beer bread. My husband keeps sneaking back into the kitchen for another slice of bread so I think I’ll be making this again. 🙂

Hi Rosa Lee!
I can’t imagine why they would call it Beer Bread with only barley as near-beer ingredient. Next time you’re in there, ask them. I would like to know what they say.

I was searching the intranet today looking for a dinner roll recipe, when I came upon this recipe. I decide to make it tonight with our dinner and it was a hit. What nice it didn’t take a lot of ingredidents. We are now resting our stomachs for a minute because I also made the Texas Peach Pie. 🙂

I made this Friday night, it was so easy and came out delicious! (I polised it off for breakfast this morning!) I noticed the hoppy beer flavor dissipated a bit the next day. I used an IPA, curious to try how other beers would change the flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

I don’t know, Deanna. I’ve never had Peach Vanilla Bourbon Jam. ;D This beer bread recipe is sweet. Sounds like you’ll need to make a test batch and see. Then come back here and tell me what you discovered. I’m curious.

We’re Shiner Bock swiggers. So, I probably used their Hefeweizen. Any light tasting beer will work.

This looks very interesting to try. For my part, I am just interested on how it will taste. I love pastries. We can add some sage leaves to enhance the aroma.

Thanks for such a simple delicious recipe! I put all the dry ingredients into a mason jar and then put the mason jar in a gift basket with a good beer for people for last Christmas. It was a hit! We now use this recipe all the time.
